This portrait of my daughter and her mini horse was taken with a Canon 60D and 70-200mm f/2.8L lens, and processed with Florabella LUXE Gypsy Photoshop action.
The great thing about using a telephoto lens is that you can be ready to capture a close-up of that perfect moment, even from a distance. The kids don’t notice you are photographing them, and you get great un-posed candid shots like these. If you don’t have a telephoto zoom yet, download my free DSLR Buyer’s Guide (see top right of this page) for lens recommendations.
